Kay Hagan on Budget & Economy

Democratic Senate Challenger; member of State Senate

Will work towards a balanced budget and fiscal constraints

Every family in North Carolina pays $1,500 in taxes each year just to pay the interest on our national debt. As a budget expert in the state Senate, Kay has balanced the North Carolina budget and pushed reform measures to open the budgeting process to th public. In the US Senate, she will work towards a balanced budget and fiscal constraints, and she will demand we follow pay-as-you-go rules. She will be fighting against wasteful federal contracts and finding ways to reduce our national debt. Source: Campaign website, www.kayhagan.com, "Issues" May 21, 2008

Keep track of every penny spent

Serving as Co-Chair of the Budget Committee during her last three terms, Kay believes in keeping track of every penny spent. She puts a premium on accountability and has no tolerance for wasteful spending. Kay has consistently done the hard work of turning out balanced budgets for six straight years, and made the tough decisions to ensure that North Carolina can continue to invest in quality schools, job training, and middle class tax cuts.
